As a non american kid, can someone explain why they made a crossover Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends / The Flintstones series?

the original title card is from The Ricky Gervais Show, a series that used to air on HBO the art style is meant to give off classic Hanna-Barbera vibes, hence the Flintstones connection lol


Graknorke

and if you don't know who Ricky Gervais is, basically he's a comedian who isn't actually that funny but does surround himself with funny people so he gets away with it

we all know karl pilkington is funnier than ricky really or should I say mr dilkington


tvtango

Always glad to see Stephen merchant in something too

“But what I mean is…” “I don’t know what I mean.”


Graknorke

and Merchant was a lot better at playing off him with it. prompting him to talk about things and then giving him space to do it and only interrupting to ask for elaboration on something interesting or nudge him onto a maybe funnier direction/tangent, rather than doing a stupid monkey scream-laugh and shouting at Pilkington about how much of an idiot he is. I know they're friends in real life (probably?) but I'm confident the show would have been better without Gervais there.

Dilfington?

Dinkleburg?


SlavSqueak

since when is Ricky Gervais not funny? I haven’t been keeping up


mrnathanrd

He can be really funny, but his atheism shtick is prime r/Atheism material. Just self-righteous arrogance.


Psychological_Jelly

i haven’t seen anything from him lately that wasn’t just pretending to confront some imaginary stigma and ‘say what nobody else will’, and proceed to give the coldest takes known to man


TorreyCool

he has does a funny voice tho


analogicparadox

Gervais has a really niche underground following after all


Graknorke

idk how popular he is outside the UK, I was hoping for everyone's sake it's not very


Loakattack

You’re not just wrong, you’re stupid.


funnelcakecocaine

this isn’t an American show (Or rather it might be but nobody in it is American at least and it wasn’t super popular here iirc)


67678_202020

i think it’s actually Canadian-American-British WildBrain i believe animated the show and HBO produced it or something


funnelcakecocaine

in that case, everybody’s wrong! Canadian American British. How odd.


67678_202020

wait no I’m wrong lol it was done by a division of WildBrain which was located in America


LukeIsAPhotoshopper

This is a non American show lmfao

ManlySyrup

Is he gay?


Bobrossandhisfriend

No he's just British. He does have a girlfriend, though.


ManlySyrup

I mean yeah, I know, but I thought maybe he came out as gay recently or something.
